Chapter 402: Tower of Babel
Tens of thousands of uniquely shaped ships have gathered in the "Big Wound" galaxy today, and the extremely dangerous "subspace rift" here does not seem to stop these ships, they have easily uprooted the "Exile" space fortress here, and built a "Tower of Babel" here.
Although in the past, they could only do it with mobile spaceships when collecting galactic energy, this time they were going to carry out the "Great Ascension", which no huge galaxy building could do.
And this "line of hell", which the "exiles" regarded as a lifeline, was easily breached, or in the "big wound" section that they considered the most heavily defended.
In addition to this, the "exile" forces in a large area of the surrounding area were also cleared, which directly led to a huge gap in the "Hell Line", which at this time existed in name only.
The Exiles have once again realized how far apart they are from this "apex" civilization, and the only good thing is that the "Hunters" don't pay attention to them, as in the past, only the "Stalkers" who are not part of the regular space fleet will fight them.
At this time, in the "Big Wound" galaxy, a tower-like structure was being built here at a breakneck speed, as if it had been lifted from the ground.
Or rather, it is not "built", but "unzipped".
The tower's monostructure seems to be in a special subspace that can be released directly into the real universe when needed, and the "Hunters" are ready for this day, and they don't want to delay for a moment.
The Tower was expected to stand on the plane of the galaxy, an extremely high position, far from all dangerous "subspace rifts", but not out of the galaxy of the "Great Wound", just like the passage connecting the gods and humans in mythology, connecting "reality" and "reality" at this moment.
The top of the tower, like a "ring", is layered around the spire, and the only glowing part of the tower can be seen here, a square box bound by some kind of force field.
It is said to be a box, but it may be close to the size of the moon, and there is an inexplicable liquid flowing from the transparent pipes on its surface that resemble lines, and it radiates brilliant brilliance in the cosmic space, which is where the light from the top of the tower comes from.
In the construction records of the "Hunter", this place is used to store a storage room for a substance that can release great energy in a short period of time, and it looks like it is only the size of the moon, but the actual internal storage space has been expanded to a terrifying point under the "data adjustment".
Their original plan was to store a large amount of dark matter here to cover the energy needs of the "Break Out Cycle", but now they have a better alternative.
The "Star of Another Dimension" contains an unbelievably large amount of energy, and although the "Hunters" do not understand the source of this energy, they estimate that it may be the energy of "one world".
Such a huge amount of energy is compressed into a sphere with a diameter of only a dozen meters, which can fully meet the needs of the "hunter" to "release huge energy at one time".
In this way, the last piece of the puzzle of their "big ascension" was also put together, and it was officially launched today.
A large number of "Incinerator-class" warships are also in the "Big Wound" system, and they seem to have stopped at a specific location in the system according to some pattern.
It is incomprehensible to the naked eye, but under the detection of the instrument, it shows that there are more or less "subspace cracks" in the vicinity of these locations.
The reason why the "Hunters" chose "The Great Wound" as the location of the "Breakthrough Cycle" is because they believe that this is the weakest place of the "World Barrier", which is different from the "World Barrier" in the perception of the "Boundary Breaker", but the "dimensional barrier" between "data" and "reality".
Getting close to these "subspace rifts" helps them better break through this "barrier".
In addition to the "Burner-class" warships responsible for keeping the "Tower of Babel" beyond, there are also some special ships that have appeared for the first time.
It is a kind of spaceship similar to a planet, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a "planetary spaceship".
The number of such ships is scarce, but it is the gathering place of the "hunter" civilization, where their entire race is located, and this "great ascension" is to transform this "data" into real life.
Now, the "Hunter" civilization that once wandered from many parts of the universe has finally stopped their destruction and focused all their energy on this "Tower of Babel".
Their entire civilization converges here, waiting for the final moment, the end of their long journey, and whatever the outcome, they will end this "cycle".
Everyone in the entire galaxy is watching their movements, even the Exiles.
Even if they don't quite know what the "hunter" civilization is trying to do, they understand that the other side is doing something unimaginable.
They know that, as the "supporting actors" of this galaxy, they can only watch each other accomplish it all.
However, there are still a small number of people who are not willing to sink until they know that the "Hell Line" has proven to be useless and that all expatriate troops will return to their "homeland" in the near future, and they decide to accomplish their "goal" before then.
This group of mobile fleets quietly set out from the "Hell Line" on the verge of collapse, and under the acquiescence of the generals on duty, they went to the "hunting grounds" to find the traces of the "legendary stalker".
At the head of this fleet is Scarface, the war hero of the Exiles and the ace pilot who fought against the Legendary Stalkers.
With hatred, they challenge enemies who are far more powerful than them.
As for the "Legendary Stalker" himself, under the influence of a certain mind, he did not choose to return to the place where the "Tower of Babel" was, but still lingered on his "battlefield".
At this time, he was writing in his diary as always, and coincidentally, he had already written to the last page of the diary:
"I am the 'Stalker of Legends', and I am now waiting for my final moment in what I call the 'Hunting Grounds'."
"The home planet has issued a recall order, because our 'long-cherished wish for civilization' is about to be completed, and as a member of civilization, I should be present."
"But my body was telling me that it wasn't what I was looking for. I should have had an 'alternate ending', to be admired as a rising star, rather than to be a spectator of a grand ritual." ”
"That's what deserves the name of 'legend'."
